Media-Whore D'Oevres

"'I’ve been cybering for a long time, but I don't really cyber as much as I used to. These days, I like to get to know someone better and have some time to talk to them through webcam and voice chat before we cyber. That’s because I’ve been lied to by too many guys. I want to cyber/cam with women. That can be very tough. Guys are fine, and there's nothing wrong with that. But I’m not bi: I only want women. And there are a lot of guys out there who pretend to be women.'" (VillageVoice)

"A Drudgereport link is like "The Golden Ticket" in Willy Wonka. The very prospect makes a blogger drool. I've seen web journalists reduced to tears. I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the blogosphere at dawn looking for an angry link.(Webnewser)

"Once famous for his loyalty to subordinates, Bush is now showing himself very capable of jettisoning the ones who create too much controversy. Bush is desperately seeking to shape his legacy in the last months of his presidency, and he is taking down those lightning rods who have attracted too much negative attention." (Politico)

"Even though NBC keeps claiming that relations between the network and Leno are just fine, thank you, Jay (Leno) keeps demonstrating his deep resentment. Everyone knows the host who's No. 1 in late night ratings has to leave in 2009 to make way for Conan -- the result of a shake-up orchestrated by Jeff Zucker in such a brutal way that it hurt Leno. How hurt? Well, on last night's The Tonight Show, Jay half-heartedly showed off a few set redecorations made while he was on vacation, including a new desk. Admitting he didn't see what was wrong with the old one, Leno quipped: 'It's not like NBC to get rid of something that's worked perfectly well for 15 years.'" (DeadlineHollywood via HuffPo)

"U.S. Sen. Larry Craig, an Idaho Republican, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in Minnesota this month after being arrested by a plainclothes police officer investigating complaints of lewd conduct in a men's restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport."
